Be good at something

Be good at something. It makes you valuable.

Randy Pausch

This has to do with focus. Nowadays there can’t be a Da Vinci anymore. You can’t be a good artist, mathematician, engineer, astrophysicist and salesman. The different topics, you might be interested in, have grown. So instead of doing everything a little, pick one and become really good.

Pursue your dreams with determination!

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

If you have persistence and determination what could possibly stop you?

You could fail thousands of times but as long as you go on instead of giving up, you CAN NOT LOOSE!

Be dedicated!

Nothing, not even sheer ability, can make up for the dedication required for a successful business career.

Ray Eppert

Do your thing, be comfortable with that fact!

Read. A lot.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.

Mark Twain

There are thousands of very good books out there and books are essential when it comes to education and growth. Personal experience may weigh more than experience gained from books, but by reading you can learn a lot faster than by experiencing for yourself.

Read. A lot!

Work like hell!

You’re going to find naysayers in every turn that you make. Don’t listen. Just visualize your goal, know exactly where you want to go. Trust yourself. Get out there and work like hell. Break some of the rules and never ever be afraid of failure.

Don’t limit education to school or university!

Formal education will make you a living. Self education will make you a fortune.

Jim Rohn

Oh god, he is so damn right!

Start to like change!

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Charles Darwin

This can’t be stressed enough, you have to get used to change.

You have to LIKE change.

You have to ATTRACT change!

Change is the key element for a happy life.
